• Triple Stack & Cut cards with free project sheet & video tutorial

  September 26, 2023

  ---

  I'm a bit addicted to this card layout!  I'm calling it the Triple Stack & Cut card.  

  

  You start out with three different patterns of designer paper measuring 3 3/4" X 5".  Stack them together and make the upper right cut – a triangle.  You could measure it but I just made sure my stack was even and sliced it off. It's approximately 3/4" from the upper left and 1" from the lower right.  

  Then for the remaining pieces you continue cutting all three pieces at once, cutting approximately in half on the diagonal and about 1" from the lower left.  

  You can now mix & match so one piece of each pattern can fit on each of 3 card fronts.  I adhered them to a 4" X 5 1/4" piece of Berry Burst card stock.  That then adheres to your card base – I folded back my front to create a fun fold design.  

  

  Tip: Note that the patterned paper has a large print, a small print and one without pattern.  This can help your card appear soothing and less busy. 

  I shared how to do this on the video below.  In the video I used the Traditions of St. Nick designer paper; another Online Exclusive seen here.  

  I used the Christmas Classic bundle seen here with Real Red, Cherry Cobbler, Mossy Meadow & White card stock. 

  

  The Mossy Meadow leaves are from the Christmas Classics dies.  Here are the three cards I made:

• All About Autumn Accordion Fold card

  September 25, 2023

  ---

  Check out this beautiful swap card Karen made with the All About Autumn Designer series paper: 

  

  That pretty greeting is from the Autumn Leaves stamp set; the die is from the Timeless Greetings bundle. This beautiful designer paper (All About Autumn seen here) is not currently available. It will be back in later October though. 

  The card front doesn't look at all like it might be a fun fold does it?  But check this out!  

  

  It's called an Accordion fold and she cased this card idea from Sue Campfield.  The designer paper on the front is most of the card front; it's adhered to a small layer of card stock though. *You can see the back of the designer paper front on the photo below. 

  She did an awesome job on the inside of the card; so many layers and textures galore!  The texture is from the new Distressed Tile 3D embossing folder seen here. 

    

  

  The scattered leaf Rose Gold foil die-cuts and gorgeous DSP are so pretty. 

  The Autumn Leaves bundle can be seen here. 

  

  Measurements:

  • Card front 1 3/4" X 5 1/2" Peacock card stock and 3" X 5 1/2" designer paper – adhere to create 4 1/4" wide
  • Card back 4 1/4" X 5 1/2" Peacock 
  • textured front strip is 1" X 5 1/4"
  • Center accordion fold 11" X 4 3/4" score at 2 3/4", 5 1/2" and 8 1/4"
  • inside panels are 2 1/2" X 4 1/2"

• Three pretty cards made with the Autumn Leaves bundle

  September 23, 2023

  ---

  I have three fall themed cards to share with you – swaps my Flowerbug's Team made.

  First is one made by Karen G.  She featured the Autumn Leaves bundle.

  

  It's a fun fold card where the main panel is adhered to the upper, front flap.  The designer paper is the All About Autumn (sadly unavailable – back early October), the embossing folder is Leaf Fall (online exclusive seen here) and the greeting die-cut is from the Timeless Arrangements bundle. 

  Colors are Crushed Curry, Cajun Craze and White. 

  Measurements:

  • Crushed Curry card base 5 1/2" X 6 1/4" score at 4 1/4", top layer is 4 1/4" X 2 3/4"
  • Cajun Craze – front layer 4" X 2 1/2", upper flap layer 5 1/4" X 1 3/4"
  • Designer paper 5" X 1 1/2" 

  The Autumn Leaves bundle can be seen here. 

  

  Next is a pretty card made by Mary who also used the Autumn Leaves bundle. 

  

  She cased this pretty card from Chelsea Christenson.  The designer papers are from both Let's Go Fishing and Earthen Elegance. Her colors include Cajun Craze, Vanilla and Mossy Meadow.  She fussy cut the greeting.

  Measurements:

  • Vanilla card base 8 1/2" X 5 1/2" score at 4 1/4", 4" X 5 1/4" layer and another textured layer 3" X 4" 
  • Designer Paper – 2 pieces at 3/4" X 5" and the center piece is 1 3/8" X 5"
  • Cajun Craze strip 1/2" X 3 1/2" 

  Lastly is a gorgeous card made by Paula – it's a super neat fun fold card!

  

  I plan to make a card like this soon on one of my videos; it really is fantastic. But I feel you may need a video to achieve this. 

  Measurements:

  • Card base 4 1/4" X 11" score at 5 1/2" mark at 2" on one short end and score to each outside score line. Then score again at 3 1/2" from the bottom (Look for an upcoming video from me on this fold!) 
  • Designer paper 4" X 5 1/4" cut into three triangles – mark bottom center at 2" and cut up to upper corners on both sides
  • Vanilla inside 4" X 5 1/4"
